The PDF contains a link to a known malicious redirector, botcraftman.ru, which is indicative of a delivery mechanism for further malicious content. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Dropper.Agent-8935497-0' further supports this, suggesting the PDF acts as a dropper. No scripts were extracted, but the embedded URL is the primary indicator of compromise.

  • PDF links to known malicious redirector infrastructure critical PDF_MALICIOUS_REDIRECTOR_LINK
    PDF contains a clickable URI to redirector infrastructure used by a known malicious PDF SEO/adware delivery campaign. These documents typically rely on user interaction and redirect chains rather than a PDF parser vulnerability.
  • ClamAV: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-8935497-0 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Dropper.Agent-8935497-0
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
